Simply put, The Anteheroes is a webcomic about many things. Built upon an ensemble cast, it follows would-be gods, covert military operatives, wizards, shamans, and crimelords. Action, comedy, drama and philosophy are all central elements of the story, and we avoid leaning too heavily on one particular element. Variety is both the spice and the rule of life; The Anteheroes is not comprised of a single storyline, but a reality based on a world much like our own.
The Anteheroes is a tale eight years in the making, a saga that follows philosophy, one-liners, beatdowns and explosions. We're upping the ante - a new page goes up every Sunday Night/Monday Morning at midnight, once a week. As we get more practice, we'll slowly move ourselves up to a 3x a week schedule. Updates are at midnight sharp, Eastern Time (-5 GMT). So tune in and get ready for a wild ride... we hope you have as much fun reading it as we did while making it.
But who are 'we'? Without further ado, let me introduce Team Anteheroes:
 |
AstralFire, also known as Christopher Rollins. Astral is the primary writer and creator of the Anteheroes concept, and has been working on it in some way, shape or form since late 2001. In addition to writing, Astral does post-production effects, shading, and lettering for pages - and he handles the site's coding and design, too! A graduate of Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology and the College of William and Mary, Astral currently resides in Northern Virginia. He can be reached as AstralFireIX on AOL Instant Messenger, and this is the preferable method of contact. If you favor electronic mail, he is AstralFire on Google Mail. |

teriden, also known as Ann Kennedy. A high school friend of Astral's, Ann is no longer with us - no, she's not dead, just busy - but she was the cover artist for both Anteheroes novels. Her duties on art upon the site's conversion to a webcomic have been given to Domochevsky, but we look fondly on her just the same. Many happy trails to her, and if she ever has the time to spare for an idle sketch - we'll take it! |
|
Domochevsky, also known as ???. Hails from Northern Germany. Has no former experience with webcomic creation but may or may not harbor terrific potential. Time will tell how he fares. He is an enigma, an assassin, a master of a thousand languages - none of which you will hear uttered from his lips as he kills you, silently. Currently is working the lineart and shading duties on the site between hits. |
|
Flickerdart, a special guest star from Canada. Flickerdart is the site's colorist, giving a much needed 'splash' to pages which simply need the extra emphasis that monochrome cannot always provide. Busy with personal life and schoolwork, Flicker is not a constant presence on the site. Along with Domochevsky, he joined during the website's transition into a webcomic. |
TheAnteheroes.com is built on the wonderful ComicCMS engine. Lineart is done in openCanvas and Adobe Photoshop CS3 is used for image production. The logo and site typeface is Palatino Linotype, and the lettering is done in 13-pt Bell Gothic.
